“There were flowers in my hair
River flowers floating everywhere
All the fishes came and kissed my feet
Dear old fishes, they said to me

They said oh, we could love you
But we are not yet what you want
Because oh, anyone could love you
You’ve got to find where you belong”
-Alison Sudol, Riversong

River Walk is the gentle grey-blue of river water flowing over pebbles on a cool spring morning.

Our Chickadee base is an ultra-soft, cloudlike blend of baby Suri aplaca and mulberry silk. It's a laceweight with an incredible halo. Chickadee is perfect for holding together with matching or coordinating colors on our other bases, or knitting on its own for ethereal, feather-light knits. If you or your knitwear recipient have a sensitivity to mohair, but you're craving that fluffy look, Chickadee is a great choice as the baby Suri alpaca is a lot less likely to irritate sensitive skin-- I have very sensitive skin and I can wear Chickadee around my neck, wrists, and forehead with no problem whatsoever.

As this is a hand-dyed yarn, there are no dye-lots and skeins may vary slightly. Please purchase enough for your entire project for best matching. Alternating skeins is recommended. This base is non-superwash, hand-wash, gently press out excess water, and lay flat to dry.
